Dear Martineau Family, So sorry for your loss. Loosing a love one in death can make us feel helpless. But even when others don't understand how we feel God does . He tells us to cast our burdens on him because he cares for us. 1 Peter 5:7. The promises Almighty God gives in his word the Bible helps us to cope with our trials and give us hope. Such promises as at Isaiah 26:19; Rev. 21:3,4; John 5:28,29. By God allowing his son Jesus to give his life as a ransom makes all these promises a reality. May these promise held out in God's word bring you comfort and peace. Sincerest Condolences Spencers
